 ## Styling
 
 Edit `~/.config/nwg-panel/drawer.css` to your taste.
 
+## Files
+
+When the search phrase is at least 3 characters long, your XDG user directories are being searched.

+Use the **left mouse button** to open a file with the `xdg-open` command. As configuring file associations for it is
+PITA, you may override them, by creating the `~/.config/nwg-panel/preferred-apps.json` file with your own definitions.
+
+### Sample file content
+
+```json
+{
+  "\\.pdf$": "atril",

+  "\\.(doc|docx|xls|xlsx)$": "libreoffice"
+}
+```
+
+Use the **right mouse button** to open the file with your file manager (see `-fm` argument). The result depends on the
+file manager you use.
